We now welcome Earyn McGee as the keynote speaker for Arizona 4-H Presents. Ever since she was a child, all Earyn McGee wanted to do was learn about cool animals, travel the world, and eat good food. Throughout her academic career, she has followed her first passion, learning about cool animals. Earyn received her B.S. from Howard University, her MSc from the University of Arizona, and is completing a PhD in natural resources with an emphasis in wildlife conservation and management at the University of Arizona. She is an expert in herpetology, specifically lizards of the southwestern US. Check out her popular social media game #FindThatLizard. Every week since June 2018 Earyn has challenged her followers to search for a lizard camouflaged in an image she posts. She makes sure to include fun facts about the lizards. She also uses this as an opportunity to advocate for social justice in environmental fields. Earyn has been recognized for her work as a Forbes 30 under 30 lister, as a Grist 50 lister, AAAS If/Then Ambassador, on Emmy nominated CBS’s Mission Unstoppable, GoldieBlox’s Fast Forward Girls Youtube Series, and on the front page of local and national newspaper outlets. As she approaches the end of her doctorate program, Earyn is confronted with the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” After trying to answer that question, Earyn realized her experiences have primed her to pursue a career as a natural history tv show host and producer. Follow her on social media @Afro_Herper on all platforms.
Arizona 4-H Youth Foundation invites you to join us virtually at the conclusion of Arizona 4-H Summit for the celebratory showcase known as Arizona 4-H Presents. All 4-H members who participate in this year’s AZ 4-H Summit will partake in a problem-solving challenge to make their communities better. During the AZ 4-H Summit, small groups of participants will work collectively to identify an issue affecting their local community. They will then create a sustainable action plan to address the subject. On the last day of the Summit, selected participants will share their action plans to a broader audience via livestream.
This event will be open to those attending Arizona 4-H Summit and will be livestreamed online for those who wish to join virtually from the comfort of their homes.
